The Acton Free Press Wed September 197 Plenty of information Tomorrow is our day of decision election day There has been no lack of to become well informed on the issues and on the Candida ten This newspaper the dailies radio and TV have all given their share of news stories pictures interviews profiles and advertisements Law prevents The Free Press from publishing election Using today the day just before the election Controversial Letters to the Editor have been rejected News coverage continues of course because the candidates kept on making news during the past week The three candidates

privilege here The weather the date the place the lack of information nothing should provide a good excuse to keep people from voting hero tomorrow One good thing about going out to vote It seems to give a certified right to complain In the polling booth is the place to get yourself the OK to carry on with that favorite old grouching about the government In Australia all British subjects are required to vote lav That includes Canadians who arc visiting too No one has suggested legislation lately but voting the will prove if such a law should mnetsaiv Then perhaps that old issue of multiple votes might be laistd again too People who achieve success one leason or another would be given additional votes With the li discussions have been around town legislation to require voting seem probable vet We can have anything Something else to remember todav is that voters can have any thing An thing at all From am part An thing for that is As another paper put it this week How deep is the public trough Government can do any thing enough people wish it to do all the special projects welfare benefit housing itici eased salaries for public servants name it vou cm have it And pav for it through vour taxes This is a simple fact that sometimes gets forgotten Signs come down soon Election committees will likely have those posters and signs down soon all across Burlington Organizers who so hopefully put up all those signs will have it in their schedules to get them down again It will be one of their last duties whether the re exuberant or disappointed After all there will be two losers Taking down publicity signs is often left off the lists of publicity people around town who leave their posters to grow old and yellow in store windows long after the events or their long outdated messages in the Chamber of Commerce sign board No phone service here There will be no phone answering election service at the Free Press Thursday night This service which weve had before is primarily good for local elections We expect people will be able to hear election results almost as soon on ision or radio as w would have them here in Acton Local committee rooms will be busy totalling up all the information they can get too Both the Liberals and Conservatives have committee rooms in town easy to get to and likely there will be plenty of people mere to share the word from the latest phone call Special arrange are being made to use the Legion as a focal gathering place too Our readers write The majority of people are aware of the existing problem regarding the shor tage of Nursing Home beds in North The awareness of the problem comes only to light when individuals find themselves in the situation where active hospitals can no longer help and pressure is put on the family lo find a nursing honif for their loved ones For instance our local residents who are admitted hospitals in the County of Wellington wish to return lo their own environment which is ISorth Where can they go The same applies to the Georgetown Hospital nursing home beds in Count Mr Kerr MPP cannot find these beds Manor does have these mystical vacancies and I certainly do not have them Our local politicians evade the problem by just ignoring it hoping maybe it will vanish but Just let the problem hit close to home and I bet the tune would be different The Ministry of Health has been ap proached since with building plans for an establishment of beds at the Kelly Nursing Home in Acton The answer that we received is that beds are not needed in this area An article In the Toronto Star and a Television debate between Mr Davis and Mr Nixon mentioned a increase for old age pensioners Good Now may t mention the last increase for old age pensioners In nursing homes Please note In March of 1975 the old age pension amounted to also a guaranteed supplement of and a grand total of In a nursing home the government in Match paid 111 and the resident paid daily leaving the patient with 00 on a day basis The increase in April 1975 old e jumped to also guannleed increased to amount being Now nursing home rates arc by the government and nursing receive a raise The portion paved by the government jumped from ill to GO while the portion paid the pensioners jumped from lo The increase paid b pensioner amounts to a month so really increased received amounted to 1 per month or a That I gum even Now what portion of this new increase the government going lo tell Nursing Homes to lake when lhej receive a raise which is inevitable the old age pensioners pur chase two sticks of gum The Davis government seems also to be concerned Health Care costs tt it not be logical for the local Public Health In inspect nursing homes in regards to nil inspections other than finance and a tribunal board The three candidates were Informed of this situation Ma I state Mr Johnson pledges to preserve and build what is good for the community and contact Mr Mr Heed is aware of this situation but can do nothing unless elected Mr Dawkinswasnot great need for nursing homes In the area hut assures me he will fight alone If necessary for the betterment of all concerned Mr Kerr our former has a file of In formation on this issue which will lie available for Mr Daw kins to acl upon when is elected for this term May provincial government In the future realize that North is good enough rich enough and progressive enough to warrant a new building for their nursing home patients on Ihe premises of the well established Kelly Nursing Home Kelly Just wondering where the summer went I Sugar
